A self drive through the coast and mountains region of Vancouver, Vancouver Islands and Whistler.

All Bridge & Wickers holidays are tailor-made and no two are the same. We have made some accommodation suggestions, however we will tailor your quote to your preferred standard and style of accommodation. 

 Day 1: Vancouver
The city is located in a spectacular setting, with the Coast Mountains across Burrard Inlet to the north, and the waters of the Strait of Georgia to the west. Restaurants, shopping, nightlife, mild climate and a cosmopolitan atmosphere make Vancouver a favourite tourist destination. Your accommodation in Vancouver is at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel.

In the same area you will find craft shops, a bookstore devoted solely to cookbooks, a wine merchant with an outstanding selection of BC wines and Roger’s, BC’s oldest chocolatier. You will have a private transfer back to your hotel.

Today you can choose from a number of activities. Fly by seaplane for dinner besides an alpine lake, enjoy a day’s salmon fishing, spa package, golf, or a picnic lunch overlooking Howe Sound, all of which can be arranged for you.

Days 4, 5 and 6: Tofino 
Pick up your car hire and take the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo, then swing west to the wild Pacific shores where the rollers turn up, often with an awesome head of froth and foam after their uninterrupted journey all the way from Japan. You’ll stay for three nights in one of Canada’s most exclusive properties, the Wickaninnish Inn, which enjoys a spectacular Pacific Rim location with direct access to the beach and has an Aveda spa.
